Re: Marco Tahtaras
Sorry to hear that. I spoke to him at a couple of MARC meets. I knew him by reputation, but not personally.

Re: Best riding A?
My 30 town sedan rides like a luxury car relatively speaking. My 28 roadster bounces all over the road like a buckboard. Both have radials and recently rebuilt shocks by the late Robert Paul.

Re: Town Car

Re: Klein Tools
Confirming the problems with digital multimeters. Buy an analog if you can find one. I have an old Radio Shack model that I use.

Re: Donovan 4 Cylinder
I just looked on Ebay for horoscope cameras. None for $10, but you can get semi rigid or soft wire. What do folks recommend buying?

Re: "Custom" Dual exhaust/Iron Trap Garage
I love that car. Quite a backstory. I don't always like what they do to the cars, but they are a real asset to the hobby and are saving a lot of cars. I am also inspired by their videos.

Re: Gauges, Meaningful Ones
I think Brent has a great idea. I'd love to see how to do that. I assume mounting it inside the muffler. Brent, tell us what to do here.
